>What is Lost ArkA pay-to-win MMOARPG set in a grindy, gatekeeping world with poorly designed fights where one player's mistake wipes the whole raid and wastes the 20 minutes of progress you had, that times 18 raids you must do every week to stay relevant.>FAQIs it dead?Yes, see https://steamcharts.com/app/1599340#All -- half of that are bots, and the remainder is spread across three regions.Who is left playing the game?Mazed sunk cost retards. They are in too deep, they are beyond saving.How much p2w is this game?Not a single player can progress in this game unless someone, whether it's you or someone else, pays real money for their accessories/build through a currency called pheons.Is the game censored?Yes, skins are censored, and they made multiple NPCs black that weren't originally.>Newshttps://www.playlostark.com/en-us/newshttps://lostark.game.onstove.com/Main>In-game chatMake an alt on the server of the chat owner and mail them a join request that includes the name of your main.NAE: Lerynsere on BalthorrEUC: Daddypump on Ratik>GuildsNAE: Touchfluffytail on Balthorr, password is fluffEUC: Handholding on Ratik, password is mods>Busing (paid carry) discordsEUC: discord.gg/buseucNAE: discord.gg/naebusIf you're a new player, you're expected to buy carries, nobody will play with you, gatekeeping is through the roof, and most raids disband after a single wipe.
content doko
The game is on its last legs and the playerbase is STILL whining about the wrong shit, like "you need to give us more progression materials!", they're missing the fucking forest for the trees. This game is completely hopeless, full of fucking retards.
>at all time lowsUnironically how long until EoS announcement?
>>2029632EoS next year, guaranteed. These dipshits will never ask or accept that Lost Ark return as a game about content, not just raids.
>>2029632>average players sub-10k >peak players sub-20kfuuuck, I didn't know it was this badbtw, the previous thread >>1935970 didn't even make it to the bump limitit's joever
>two more weeks intensifies
i need more solo raids
>>2030580eos next year bozo
>>2031324Whales will keep this game going for a decade and you will seethe and lose hair over it.
>>2029632I weep for what this game could have beenthe arrogance of these GREEDY FUCKING GOOKS NUKE KOREA
>>2029632>AGS officially shut down New World development, will be shutting down servers in 2027, laid off over 30k employeesNot even trolling or doomposting I think an EoS announcement will probably come early 2026 for Lost Ark (and Throne and Liberty as well). Lost Ark was an interesting attempt to port over a next-gen MMO to the West but Lost Ark has fundamental problems that Western players don't like and it goes beyond just MTX/P2W. I am curious though if SmileGate tries to find a new publishing partner in the West.

>after 12 years finally upgrading my computer and can play lost ark>it's dead and I missed the good times Really sad, I loved the concept of an arpgmmo. The raiding looked really fun. Hope this game gets a sequel or spiritual alt some day.
>>2034429>The raiding looked really funin theory yes, in practice it's why the game is dead
>>2034367you were owned in the mouth retarded faggot, haha western development continues as new world is cannabalized to make lost ark great again
Reinstalled for the update tomorrow, and it takes like 20 minutes just to get to character select.
Need the uncensored patch
Lost ark next
>>2034748New world felt like WildStar to me where they launched it, it flopped, then they tried to launch it again and it flopped again. Kind of a shame because I didn't hate the game, but there was definitely something about it that just didn't feel right.
>>2034429i watched since it was announced in korea, consumed nothing but arena pvp videos, had dreams of all these epic duels and...reaper...was my most anticipated class. reaper launched in it's worst state with a known bug and set bonus not working and pvp was a wintrade botfest and died in the evenings by that time.
>uncensor doesn't work any more.owari da
>>2034748lmao they closed new world servers and announced they extend the license to publish both throne and loa , doomsisies obliterated
>>2034784Looked like New World had some kind of appeal if it kept people coming back at certain points. Even 2 weeks ago they did something that spiked up the playercount and maintained that until the EOS announcement.Makes it sad to see it in comparison with LOA in the west where it seems nothing they do can really brings in a big wave of players. I'm not even expecting them to stay more than a week, but just try it out at all. It makes me wonder that even if LOA somehow does a huge update that effectively relaunches the game and fixes a majority of issues players had, would people still try it?
>>2035363NW and LOA aren't really comparable cost wise because Amazon simply publishes LOA, whereas they need to develop and publish NW which is far, far more expensive. Also LOA has a much better monetization system when it comes to making money from whales so they get a much higher return per player for far less effort.
>>2029160>and the remainder is spread across three regions.even the doomtranny OP isn't up to date, our doomsissy fat faggots all left....
>>2035698from 5 regions with 14 servers each... to 2 regions with 12 servers totalwe're running out of ways to cut costs
>come back>RE blade is S tier>i swapped to surge before quitting because it was hands down the best>all the old "swiftness" builds are S tier everything is so confusing and all my gear is busted, and they gave shorts to artist for this costume
its finally over
hmm, so you're stuck in gay baby jail til you silver hone and bound material craft unless you buy a boost to 1600...hmmm
>>20370741600 is nothing, don't even bother, the game is long dead poe1 starts a new league tomorrow, play that instead
I want to pump to lost ark sluts one more time
game is a graveyard but i'm still having fun
>>2038403Happy 4 U sista
>>2034563Oh no she's hot.
Without decensor my penis is not getting fully erect when jumping in hell on ayayas. I need ayayas buttholes to be fully in display for me once again
>>2034944works on my machine
GFN still isn't working (5 trillion dollar company btw)
>>2038403I wish traveling the world and going to islands and doing stuff with friends and strangers out there was still relevant. You know, like how an MMO ought to be like?
>>2044865I crash to desktop when using the july4_datapack4 do you have another one?
guys
>>2044865Show ass in that skin please
>>2046085should've played this garbage the very first 3-4 months it came out, everyone was doing soul islands and having fun killing the chameleon in punika
>>2047865launch month of mmos is the most kino game experience you can ever getafter that its the worst
>>2047992I'm literally still chasing that high, the first 3 months were something else entirely, felt so fucking good when I finally killed Argos/Velganos for the first time and now it's just memories lost like farts in the rain...
>>2048076You can still get those highs, you just have to be patient and wait for a very anticipated MMO. But after the first month when the mentally stable and good people leave after a month and the psychos are all that are left, things quickly degrade and can never happen in that game again.
>>2048092exactly, but since I left Lost Ark nothing has come close to it so far... My safest bet is to just get double dipped by the gooks with Lost Ark Mobile and call it a day.
>>2048139I'll try that one out just for old times sake, but I don't think it'll even have an open world like the original. It'll just have your little cuckshed apartment and direct portals to chaos dungeons and raids. It won't have that same new launch feeling, they're already deeply committed to tunnel visioned raid autism.
>>2046139Crashing as well after character selection
The general is THIS dead?
>>2054153sorry i went back to bdo, lost ark is boring as fuck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SiDd3BQleYNovember 19: two new raids + paradise S02the crucible has 15 levels nowhell keys will go up to ilvl 1730they still haven't learned how to pronounce "denouement" but keep using that fucking word
>>2056555she looks so fucking putrid lol, like she's on death's door or smt fucking stupid WHORE
>>2057271the wall is real
>>2047553literally me (destroyer main)
>>2057991WTFShe's so cute, I'm in love.
i got a bunch of random skins and crap from when the game first released, like some of the cat boxes i think, the war dancer stuff, i dont even remember the class. is it worth trying to sell it for real money?
>>2058845cat boxes are worth ~70K gold a piece, that's about $5 eachit might be hard to find a buyer for everything you've got though, the game's close to EoS (pic related) and a lot of people are cashing out at the moment
>>2059017wtf can i do in lost ark with all this money if i sell all these skins, anything fun? is there anything besides raids going on?
>>2059017can't wait for sunk cost retards to shit and piss their pants when third party eos is announced next as they defended one of the most disgusting p2w milk funnels all the way down
>>2029160Can someone please tell me how the fuck I'm supposed to set these stupid anthills on fire for the Unforeseen Disaster quest I can't fucking believe I'm having so much trouble figuring this out I've been away from the game for years but don't know what I could possibly be missing I've tried interacting I've tried attacking I've tried throwing a flame grenade it just doesn't do shit
why do you doomers even bother posting just go away go back to whatever shitty general you crawled out of
>>2060943Drop this shit game and play WWM with us. It's infinitely better and popping off. Korean games are history.
>>2060948Only if you tell me how to burn the ant habitats
>>2060948>reskinned genshin sloplolno
>>2060948I'm playing Winds and it mogs gookshit into oblivion with no p2w eitherthe chinese century is here
>>2060045Dont know about the cloud but the cats and skins are one of the cheapest on the market not really worth much
>>2029160You know, plenty of skins aren't censored. Past the first 10 months or so I don't think they censored a damned thing.
>>2060045there's nothing fun left in the gameyou can dress up your character and enjoy the photo mode, that's about it
>>2062373mmos used to mean doing all kinds of content depending on what you felt likelost ark has raids and chaos basically thats it. they forgot the core sovl of the genre
>>2034748New World took Amazon dollars to create and maintain. Lost Ark Amazon does very little by comparison. We don't know the internals of their deal, but Smilegate would have had to fuck it up royally if it was set up to screw Amazon when players shrink.Most likely situation is that Lost Ark continues until it fails in Korea, who knows when that is. Second most likely is that Smilegate has to find another publisher and the experience is pretty seamless to the global player.But this isn't Amazon's game, they don't have any real monthly budget to justify, it's just profit for them.
>>2062308npcs were aped up since day 1
This LOA ON will be it. Surely with Aion 2 release SG will finally fix the game in order to compete.
>>2064917Don't even try to fix this stupid game. They better be working on Lost Ark 2.
https://playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/day-of-prophecy-release-notescringe
>1.5M followers>245 viewershow could this happen, bros...
aion 2 status?
>>2062308They are still censoring all the specialist skins, they just give up with race swapping on characters (as far a I know)
>>2067673Played it a bit , the game feels like a downgrade compared to Aion 1 I dont think it has any chances to survive on global release
>>2059017A new raid just dropped and not a single player came back for it.We're sitting at 16,052 right now, that's -500 players compared to last week's peak lol.
Act 4 hard mode is fucking awful to prog. It's just such a terrible experience. You just wipe over and over again on 240x mech, then later 150x mech.
>>2069752I stopped progging after brel 2.0.My main gets bussed, the other characters just do behemoth. Last week I couldn't even be bothered doing that. It's very obvious the game is about to EoS, they just added paid options to the daily login reward screen for fuck's sake.
>>2034429You can still play it, just wait for next honing event in December though. The first experience in a bunch of the raids is pretty good.
>>2069758Yeah, the paid login track is just ultra greedy. Yet they still censor artist skins and barely sell any as a result. Funny way to run a business. I do enjoy progging new raids, but the act 4 experience is just miserable. The raid itself feels really easy, but those two mechs are just awful. You basically have to bash your head into it until you get it, especially 240x.
>>2069759>"You can still play it, just don't play it until the future"lost shart players everyone.
WWM is popping off despite the geopolitical nerf to reputation. The fairest monetization I've ever seen in a while. Koreans did this to themselves. They deserve everything that is happening, and I hope Chinese MMO devs wipe them off the face of the internet.
>>2067673unironically better than LA even the raids are more fun at least for me, but you can also do other things like in a real mmo
>>2071612>do other thingsI will play it for that alone. Fuck LA.
>>2071666even the coom is better in aion 2, just hope the gooks will tone down p2w for a year or two on global release
>>2073183If it completely tanks in Korea, which so far it is, they will have no choice but to be nicer to westerners. LA is still strong in Korea (god knows why), so they don't have to treat us better.
as an oppressed third world citizen i refuse to verify my age on erome but i need to know. have there been any cum tributes recently (especially by meeow123)
>>2071514Can I run it on an old PC though? Same question for Aion2.I can run Lost Ark on an older PC.
>>2073868I heard WWM has a lite version on the standalone launcher that runs like a mobile gamecheck out sword of justice while you are at it too, it's older game, less action but is also from the same publisher so both have fair monetization
Does the Kazeros Challenge make honing easier. Can anyone post a screenshot of the reward screen. Thanks.
>>2073868Depends how old. It'll run on a GTX 1060, although it might look a bit rough. But if you're playing old games due to your hardware, it might not be that bad. I've peeked at low settings, it's not really that bad, particularly by MMO standards.
>lost ark MOBILE in ue5 while lost ark rotsFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT GOOKS
>>2074337No. Everything it gives is shown when you click the question mark. The astrogem boxes, karma, and mordum gloves require you to actually clear bosses to get as well.All the other rewards are in rosterbound boxes.
>>2074970I don't even care anymore, its the same 2 homework (chaos, guardian) and raids and NOTHING else. Nothing I'm not already sick and fucking tired of.
https://steamcharts.com/app/1599340#7dWeekend peak of a release week of two new raids + a new paradise season was 15,403 players.That's significantly lower than the October peak of 19,209, and the peak calculated for the last 30 days, 15,896.Even the most mazed of mazies are leaving this sinking ship.
You win, Smilegate, I'm out. Your raid design is unfun.
This history lesson never gets old
>>2079845>letting elitists guide game developmentraidniggers... raidniggers never change
can't wait for eos when all the mazies move on to aion 2
>>2083207Does Aion 2 have lolis?
>>2078871I couldn't stay away after all, but we did it! Got the chaos conqueror title.I have now beaten Lost Ark.
It's been a while since I've checked out the Sharties. I saw on reddit even the giga elitists are crashing out and now they see raid progression being the only progression is bad.I quit half way through the first season of paradise and even then I was barely logging on to do it and may 1 or 2 solo raids.
>>2092647>and now they see raid progression being the only progression is bad.huge iq reveal from these dumb mazies, look how long it took them
She killed the game...
I'm not watching loaon but I can safely say it's over.
>>2107720My Steam recap will say I played 0 hours this year.
saintone is quitting
>>2110055anyone who didn't is confirmed low iq, but he's a streamer so that's a given
I kept this general up for any cute pictures, but now it doesn't even get any posts, much less new pictures of any kind. At this rate, it might not even survive on /vm/, which is really tragic.
>>2110679The game lost a lot of its momentum and the latest LOAON didn't show any groundbreaking changes that would make a former endgame player consider picking it up again. The most they did was somewhat streamline a new/returning player's journey to 1700 ilvl. The presentation was mostly new shiny things, which admittedly is pretty cool stuff for people that still enjoy the game.Even Arca feels less active than before. Not as many pics posted in the screenshot section nowadays.
>>2110679i'd rather just get off to sfm porn than put myself through gookjew humiliation rituals
>>2111570>The most they did was somewhat streamline a new/returning player's journey to 1700 ilvl.Isnt this the thing the games been needing the most though? Was nearly impossible to even get in the game before unless there was an express, and thats being fixed it seems
>>2111753>hey man! Take this express ride to reach the anal raping faster!!!Yeeeeeeee naaahh, I'm good senpai, even if they offered me a fully kited BiS 1900 tier 99 aether gloom divine whatever I'd still say no, fuck being a mazed imbecile in a game where LITERALLY 99% of the playerbase left lol
>>2111753They could make it a one click to the maximum ilvl possible today and I still wouldn't come back. I want to adventure in the world and play with friends in a more fun and relaxed environment. All you do is your daily solo instanced homework and a stressful interview process to do raids where you feel pressure to perform. I don't know why you think giving people freebies would bring any meaningful amount of people back. It wouldn't.
>>2111753Not exactly. Even people with multiple endgame characters in tier 4 are dropping the game. So it wouldn't matter if you gave a new player a fully set up 6x char endgame roster and downloaded full knowledge of current raids into their brain. There is something that causing even these players to leave down the line.Personally, I think the raiding system being so restrictive (jailing, weekly lockout, 8 players required) while also being the biggest and sometimes only source of progression is dragging down a lot of the fun. It feels like you have to clock in each week to run through the raids. I can't just hop on whenever I actually feel like playing and run some raids for fun. Try to help out a prog party? Lose some rewards if they don't clear. Jailed after g1? Lose some rewards if I don't spend potentially 1hr+ to find a replacement.Take a break for 2 weeks? Miss some rewards even if I can play 3x as much on the 3rd week.The fact that you're playing with a lot of strangers if you don't have a full static just adds to the stress. You can't just take the L among your friends or mess around in raids. Random people will be upset with their time being wasted or missed rewards.
following the LOA-ON, 24hr peak dropped to sub-10K, it's literally joever
>>2077223
>>2113379>9,365 is approximately 0.707% of 1,324,761OOF, SHARTSISTERS I DON'T FEEL TOO GOOD... MAYBE RAIDING WILL CHEER US UP...
>>2086751it has unrestricted character creation, meaning you can just make a loli sized character, or hebe, etc, and wear all the skimpy outfits. it's lots of p2w though.
>>2114625better than this kusoge can't wait
Reminder that Lost Ark's player base is majority bots or people afking at that dark hub place where you hone, I forgot the name.The 20k average they maintained for a while was at least 12k bots.
>>211337910K WAS NEVER THE TRUE FLOOR5K IS THE FLOORWE WILL NEVER DROP BELOW 5KHOOOLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4yA2YsNVZ4>T3 honing will NOT be changed to use silver instead of gold??????>as a consolation prize, everyone gets 1 free relic core selector chest, that's 1 per account not 1 per characteryikes
>>2114835>remaining mazies are just now figuring out that the "doomposting" was actually the truth all along now that 99.3% of players quit and the layers of rng and raid fatigue are too unbearable even for themI hope these retards get fleeced out of thousands of dollars before eos, they genuinely deserve it
>>2114835The real blackpill is that it was like this from day one. I quit after getting to that chinese gladiator arena battle area and seeing waves of bots everywhere. I couldn't even go one screen without seeing at least ten of them zooming across the screen. Don't know how you guys lasted years with that shit. I'm usually a freedom guy but I'm ready to make gaming real ID required. I'm sick and tired of china and india shitting up every multiplayer game with any form of economy.
>>2115111how can those clown niggers can still have a job LMAO. that bitch is HIDEOUS to look at holy shit
I genuinely can't stand reddit mazzies. Of all the problems this game has their biggest issue is the fucking balance patch. Please EOS this game, it will hurt me but it will hurt these people more.
>>2115209I didn't last, I fell off around clown and was on and off until Theamine. At that point I just check in and sometimes comeback to power pass for a week or 2 and try out a new solo raid/character.
>>2115209most of the sane people quit after getting to the underwater park dungeon, game was still fun enough up to that sectionafter that the honing rng in tier 3 filtered almost everyone.argos slapping extra hard for people undergeared was a hard wakeup call to the game's p2w element.
>>2119401Valtan was the very first great filter, ppl even stayed for Argos and shit, but Valtan was like seeing what the future would be from now on and like 40% bailed there me included
